GUYS

My Grammy made me a quilt!! It’s so beautiful! She made one for each of the grandkids (9 of us!) and spent hours picking out the fabrics and planning the design for each of us. She said she wants us to know how loved we are and was tearing up. I just love my Grammy so much, and I hope you all know how much you are loved by others and by God. 💚

things that made me happy recently

my gf and I can talk for literally forever and always have stuff to say, and how often we laugh until my face hurts

I was tired and I needed sleep, so I went to bed early and got it 

a fresh haircut 

everything in life is more pleasant when the weather is warm and going outside isn’t agonizing, so that’s been nice

catching up on westworld, which is killin’ it this season 

some stuff at work shifted and I’m back to doing the parts of my job that I really enjoy

therapy always makes me feel better and I feel like I get a temporary neurotypical boost for a few hours after 

matcha ice cream 

made a really nice healthy dinner in that post-therapy functioning window 

had one of those evenings where I felt like I had a lot of time and did a lot of things

working outside 

I started watching b99 and it makes me laugh until my chest hurts, which is impressive because I never laugh out loud when I’m by myself 

I hate to admit it, but I worked out and it felt good 

I bought docs and they make my feet and also my whole self feel badass

rereading a series of unfortunate events 

I vented about some stuff this week and lots of people validated my frustration, which is good because normally I think “oh don’t complain, no one cares”

in the category of gender feelings: looking in a mirror and feeling like I’m actually seeing myself

really good chocolate

Little things that make me happy

- having something good to take for lunch the next day - being called sir or mr. by random people - wearing a favorite shirt or jacket - getting a random complement on my hair - surprise cute animal pictures - having all my homework done before the weekend - hot coffee - being in a coffee shop generally makes me happy - feeling like I actually got enough sleep (rare) - completing a piece of writing and acting liking how it turned out and like I did a good job - my friends or boyfriend being dorky and great

things that made me happy recently

had a day off from work

reading new things about gangster history, because I am a nerd and this is where my interests lie

WARM DAYS AFTER LONG WINTERS

seriously, after it’s been cold for such a long time, it’s so nice to be able to open the window and feel a nice warm breeze and notice how much better the air smells when it’s not freezing cold

may have rearranged my schedule a little so I could better enjoy the nice day

going outside without a coat on and being able to just wear a jacket as part of your outfit and that’s all you need 

being able to feel like you’re expressing yourself in a good gendery way

going on a walk and having an adventure 

doing things on a whim because I feel like it is not something that comes naturally, but it’s so good for my mental health

going to the library

my Friday night quesadilla was especially good this week

new pokemon go event = lots of dratini 

calling my dad and catching up

[selfcaresucculent]

evolving new pokemon in pokemon go that I’ve been working towards

spending the morning out on a boat

warm end-of-summer ocean water

my cat

watching law & order

spending time with my family 

going to favorite restaurants 

I went for a jog?? I never do that but it actually felt pretty good

having a quiet, slow morning where I made myself a nice breakfast and a cup of tea

started therapy and I really like my therapist

bookstores

compliments at work

catching up with friends you haven’t talked to in a while

playing a vidya game

listening to Billy Joel

some little things that will increase work-life balance

having alone time

cozy pajama pants

when it isn’t freezing or icky outside

really good, deep, refreshing sleep

I got to babysit the tiniest little bean of a Velcro baby the other day! He used me as his own personal luxury bed for an entire morning and I didn't mind one bit. It let me take a nap with a baby and let his mom get some housework done and some time to herself. And any day when I get to hold a baby is a good day.

Kinda random, but honestly, it might've been the highlight of the week. Or month. Maybe the year...
